Source of Recipe

From "Mad Hungry: Cravings" by Lucinda Quinn


Recipe Introduction

"This is a simple, basic coleslaw. Serve it on the side with fried chicken or pile it high on a pulled pork sandwich as a cool, creamy, crunchy counterpoint."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 mild onion, such as Vidalia, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
â—¦ ¾ cup mayonnaise
â—¦ ½ cup sour cream
â—¦ 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
â—¦ 1 teaspoon coarse salt
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
â—¦ ½ teaspoon celery seeds
â—¦ ½ medium green cabbage, cored, quartered, and thinly shredded (8 cups)


Recipe

Put the onions in a bowl, cover with cold water, and let stand for 10 minutes.

Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and celery seeds in a large bowl.

Drain the onions and pat dry. Add to the bowl of dressing, along with the cabbage, and stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably, overnight. Remove the coleslaw from the fridge 30 minutes before serving.

Serves 6
(or tops 8 pulled pork sandwiches)
